"I’m exhausted, but exhilarated!” said artistic director Owens on culling the selections from 2,403 entries. "We again broke a record on submissions, and I think we’ve gathered a truly diverse collection of international films that will give fans a healthy survey of what’s going on in filmmaking around the world. Continuing a trend, the lines between narrative and documentary continues to be blurred, making the experience of film more engaging than ever."
